It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.

How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.

Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak

out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side. Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.

“ Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life? ”

All my classmates burst into laughter. Dr. Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.

“I will answer your question.”

Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this “When I was a small child, during the war, we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked(失事) in that place.

I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became very interested in the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.

I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a symbol for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source(

I am a fragment（碎片）of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. However, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in

the hearts of men—and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise（同样地）. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.” 33. On hearing the author’s question, Dr. Papaderos __________ at first. A. laughed at his foolishness C. doubted his seriousness

B. wasn’t sure of the answer

D. wasn’t interested at all

34. Why did Dr. Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child? A. Because he was too poor to afford other toys.

B. Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn’t reach. C. Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.

D. Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him. 35. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. A Special Game in the Childhood C. Dr. Papaderos’ Experience

B. A Broken Piece of Mirror D. The Meaning of Life

For some people charm is a natural gift, but for others being charming is a skill that they need to acquire in order to survive. If you want to charm someone, here are some ways on how to do it.

1. 36 In order to charm someone, you must learn some facts about that person. Determine what his likes and dislikes are. Then try to find the person’s soft spots. In this way, you can easily avoid the things that he doesn’t like and put an effort to show that you are interested in the things he likes. 37

2. 38 Eye contact is one of the best ways to connect to a person. It helps you create an image that you are confident with yourself and show that you are interested in him. By establishing eye contact with the person you want to charm, you are actually starting a conversation with him.

3. Show respect. By showing respect, you are expressing sincerity to that person. Learn how to politely introduce yourself. You don’t want to create an impression that you are overconfident. A handshake may be the most common way to do it. However, other traditions involve other forms of introductory gestures. 39

4. Always smile. Smiling is one of the basic ways to charm a person. By smiling a lot, you are creating a positive image for the person you wish to charm. Smiling is also a way of showing that person how glad you are to meet him.
